APPARATUS FOR JOINING TIRE CONSTITUENT MEMBER AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING TIRE CONSTITUENT MEMBER

摘要

When end portions of a tire constituent member are to be brought into contact with each other and joined together, the end portions to be joined together are prevented from being caught by a pair of joining rollers. The end portions (91), (92) of the tire constituent member (90) are arranged opposite to each other. The pair of joining rollers (40) is made to roll on the end portions (91), (92) of the tire constituent member (90) and the end portions (91), (92) are brought into contact with each other and joined together by the joining rollers (40). An entanglement preventing member (70) is moved together with the pair of joining rollers (40), and the both end portions (91), (92) of the tire constituent member (90) in front of the joining rollers (40) in a moving direction are pressed by the entanglement preventing member (70). The both end portions (91), (92) of the tire constituent member (90) are pressed by the entanglement preventing member (70), and entanglement of the both end portions (91), (92) into the pair of joining rollers (40) is prevented.
